Product tour
Prof. Wen toured Skysys’ product exhibition area and learned about the company’s unmanned-system platforms, solar-panel-related equipment and intelligent operational solutions. The exchange provided an opportunity to understand Skysys’ engineering experience in practical deployment scenarios and to discuss how aerial robots, perception, positioning and control technologies could be integrated for safer and more efficient solar panel cleaning.
Technical discussion
The two sides also held a technical discussion on future collaboration directions. Topics included autonomous UAV operation at photovoltaic sites, reliable navigation and positioning, perception for panel condition assessment, cleaning mechanism integration, operational safety, and the feasibility of joint demonstrations. TASLAB shared its research experience in trustworthy AI, UAV autonomy, sensor fusion and intelligent robotic systems, while Skysys introduced its product development and application-oriented engineering capabilities.
